I've never been a huge sports fan. This year I started getting into football and followed the Bengals through the whole season...I've always liked watching baseball and enjoy going to Reds games, but I don't always make an effort to follow them. In both cases I pick a favorite player to root for throughout the season.
Now, since I don't actually know too much about stats I typically pick my favorite based on how cool their name is. Hey, I'm a girl, I'm allowed. I don't want to pick the best or most well-known player on the team because that's just too obvious (ie. Chad Johnson, Carson Palmer). So, this year my favorite Bengal was Kevin Kaesviharn. He has a cool name and he gets his job done, even if he isn't a starter. I would have picked TJ Houshmandzadeh in a heartbeat but I don't like his long, skinny ponytail (TJ, if you're reading this, you can be my favorite if you cut the ponytail). My favorite Reds player was Willy Mo Pena, you just can't argue with that name. My second favorite was Sean Casey- not really a cool name but he seems like a great guy. Now you can see my dilemma since both of those players are no longer with the Reds. That's where you come in. I know at least a few of you who read this know about sports and are Reds fans...who should my new favorite be???

Can't the Frosty Malt be your favorite. You know that's why I go to the games.
Bronson Arroyo is my new fave. He's a pitcher who came from the Red Sox and helped them when they won the World Series. That's where I first heard of him. He's a younger guy with longer blond hair. (I think Aaron calls him Abercrombie!) He's got a cool name, plus he hit two home runs in the first two games he played for the Reds -- that's huge for a pitcher!
